Tapping sound on cold start???
So I started my car today for the first time in a couple of weeks. It barely started, but when it did there was a tapping sound coming from the engine bay. The sound only happened when the car was under 1500 RPMs. As the car warmed up the sound got quieter and eventually went away. Any idea what this could be?
Its a '98 LS1 btw.

piston slap
Check out http://www.pistonslap.com
My buddy just traded in his nearly new 2002 extended cab, 4WD with 5.3 because it recently generated a bad case of piston slap.
There are some good sound clip samples on the site to listen to.
